[open] The Sea Shall Rise [Birth]

[Trident]

This child, born of an aquatic lineage, does not come into this world on a bed of soft straw.  There is no figure to awaken him gently, no whickered greeting.  He is simply cast into the waters off the shores of The Dale.  Waves pulling him under, water filling his earthly lungs.

Sinking.

The entity of Craft and Anatomy feel this.  A life barely begun sinking into the depth of despair.  It is a cruel cruel world.  When something as innocent as this new life is left to the ocean depths.  They could allow it to consume the waterlogged child, if it had been born anywhere else but their shores.  But the child calls to them in the fading pulsing rhythm of its heartbeat.

Gills. Yes, that would do.

The transformation takes place, just as the last string of life is to be plucked from the boy.  It takes a moment for the waves to breathe life back into him.  Washing oxygen filled water though his gills as they wash over him.

A spark.

A gentle twitch of life comes to the child's hooved limbs.  Soon followed by the opening of his eyes.  Those killers' eyes, wide and slitted.

His limbs begin to thrash as the waves push him inland.  Or was the entity pulling him to them, to their shores.

Soon there is sand beneath his hooves, droplets of water rolling off his hairless skin.  Interlocked scales cover his body, leaving only fluffy aqua blue bits of mane and tail.

His eyes, those emotionless pits, rove over the rocky beach he has risen from.  Where would his guardians lead him now?
